PREFACE. Through the medium of the Territorial Board of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Managers of New Mexico, the publication of this volume on New Mexico Mines and Minerals was made possible. The Board of Managers fully recognized, in the beginning, the importance of presenting in a proper and concise manner such matters of interest, at the Great Exposition in the City of St. Louis, concerning New Mexico, as would redound to the general welfare of the commonwealth and at the same time tend to reﬂect credit on itself in the performance of its manifold duties, has in accordance with such views, sanctioned the publication of this brief historical Memoir descriptive of the Mines and Minerals of New Mexico. It is sincerely hoped by the Commission that the matter herein contained will be cordially received by a generous public and may prove both interesting and valuable to all from a scientiﬁc, as well as from a historical standpoint. Technical terms and phrases have been avoided as much as was consistent in elucidating intelli- gently the various topics discussed. E Should any criticism be offered as to the manner, character and style of presenting the subjects contained in “New Mexico Mines and Minerals,” the author desires the other members of the board exonerated from such rebuke, and will himself shoulder the full responsibility; since the whole volume was entirely written by him and was left in his hands, absolutely. . Moreover, the author wishes to say that he gratuitously prepared the whole of the manuscript and bore the entire burden and expense of collation, correspondence and stenog- raphy- , Every effort was exerted to secure and include only that which is authentic, and whenever possible, veriﬁed by liying representatives of the “early days,” who were on the ground in person. It should be observed. then, that the source of

During the course of the evening I became acquainted with miners and prospectors who had come in from the surrounding country and with whom I had not before come l in contact.
